Legend, I fully agree with your assessment of this game being boring to anyone who isn't interested in WW1. I'm biased because I love WW1 more than any other European time era and have sunk probably over 70 hours into this mod. I don't see you coming back to it, but the mod can get really challenging and personally I think really fun. Russia in the war was actually a sleeping giant that took forever to mobilise, but once they did, they were endless. This mod does that perfectly. As the Germans, I managed to take Belgium, France, UK, Swiss, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. I reversed WW1 by holding the line against Russia while having a war of movement in the west. For all those countries I've taken, ever single western soldier I've killed, I've probably killed 60 or more Russians, they are absolutely endless and relentless. I wish this mod was better, but I got use to using the "trench warfare" and loving the era already, this is one of my favourite mods. I hope Relic and CA make a TW/Company of Heros mashup for an actual WW1 game. Also to continue the comment I've been leaving on every mod review video: - Broken Crescent for Medieval II - Republic of China 1924 for Medieval II - Genghis Khan/Mongol mod for Rome: Barbarian Invasion - Morning Sun (Total War Centre version) for Shogun II

Thanks a lot for the shout-out, I appreciate it. Agree 100% with you. It’s a real shame the mod turned out this way, but it makes sense. The best mods for Napoleon are the ones that expand on the foundations, like Napoleonic Total War 3 which makes the battles extremely realistic. Or Darthmod, which just improves the game all around.

Mackenzie Braden Liu Bei created a whole new Map in Shogun 2. he made a 3 Kingdomes Mod Setting in China. There is no Japan Map in it. so if you know how to do mapping you can do it in Shogun 2. but if that its True for the Attila Mod then yes it is Sad what happened to Total War Games.

I think many people don't understand that 20th century warfare simply cannot be modeled in what type of game total war is.

[@Koelebig]

Although I agree, I also disagree, because it can work with alterations. I just think it would be very tedious.

[@darkfireslide]

Using a 19th century framework for 20th century warfare doesn't help. It could totally be done. All you would have to do is make it so that it's possible to field many armies at once, make supplies matter more than money, have many settlements and different settlement types to reflect production woes of the time, and have it so people can build trenches--some of these features exist in Rome 1 and Medieval 2, actually (towns vs castles, building forts). Make entrenched armies nearly impossible to bypass. For the battles you'd need to widen the maps significantly and make the AI respond much faster than in most TW games. It's totally doable. Just probably not within Napoleon's framework. Nothing is possible within Empire/Napoleon's framework.

[@Koelebig]

@@darkfireslide Well yeah, but with 20th century warfare you'd have to think in front lines. Imagine a game like Hearts of Iron 4 combined with Total War mechanics. Then imagine that you'd have to play (or auto-resolve) every battle. Then imagine how many battles you'd have to play. Then think how much fun it would actually be.

[@Koelebig]

@maciejl20 Well here's a pic of just the invasion of France: cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Hearts-of-Iron-4-04-Invading-France.jpg Now imagine an invasion of the Soviet Union. Also, this is the province map of Hearts of Iron 4: imgur.com/Wxq4KKP Please let me remind you that in HOI4 you move divisions and attack enemy armies from one province/region to the other (just like good old STW and MTW) and you'd have tons of battles going on. Like I said, it's doable, but would it be fun? And also, how many battles would you play? And: Wouldn't it become sort of a Hearts of Iron IV clone anyway?

[@merlin4084]

I think WW1 could be achieved in total war, but I think only in the Empire infrastructure. I am sure that if a custom map was made for that game you could create a garrisonable trench system, like you can with stone walls in Empire. However, a dedicated game would be better. And the campaign map doesn't need to change all that much. All CA needs to do is make a map if the Western Front with lots of smaller provinces with instead of cities is a series of bunker systems, which have a small garrison of their own so you don't have to recruit huge amounts of soldiers to garrison them yourself. So you could only have the funds to have 3 armies that move around in the "big pushes" but the AI could do the same somewhere else in the line and you have to defend that province/sector with whatever troops are garrisoned in that sector, which can be upgraded through upgrading the bunker complex in that sector. WW1 Total War is possible, it just needs the scale to be brought down from continent spanning to theatre focused. But that doesn't seem to be anything CA are capable of doing.

[@natknutson1482]

One of the biggest issues I have with the ai setup is the targeting never takes hills into account. So you unload all your ammo into a hill. Shogun DOES take it into account so atleast they learned how to fix something. Well, shogun MOSTLY figures it out.

[@tjh6558]

So, stop firing and reposition your troops to a more advantageous spot where they can either fire on your enemy or your enemy has to move from their position to engage you.

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

This was an issue from Empire and Napoleon. The problem is that from an aerial view, it’s harder to see small hills that block your troops from firing.

Look at the flag of the German Empire. I just HATE when people do that. What do I mean? That's a flag from the Empire, yes, but not the state flag. It's the service flag of the colonial ministry and foreign ministry. So many people see flags of the Empire and think "Oh, that's cool!" and that use that instead of the real one. It's just stupid. The biggest offender being the Iron Cross on the Black-White-Red backround, which was the naval jack of the Empire.

[@EndOfSmallSanctuary97]

The potential isn't really there, though, since the game was designed to be set in the early 19th century, not the early 20th century, and technology and military doctrine changed too much to be compatible.

[@Cyprian96]

@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 actually, it did not that much, especially early in the war. The great war changed the way war was waged. The change happened during the war, because of it. But i get what your point

[@majorearl12]

I played the mod as Germany on Normal (mostly cause ive found difficulty means the AI gets bonuses and i get debuffs, which is stupid). The gameplay is lots of fun once you get through the early game, its quite boring watching the ai throw armies at you, and yes, the Allied powers do have ALOT of money cheats, but i played and eventually won the campaign, the AI uses machine guns and bunkers ALOT later on. The game gets heated at points cause you have to maneuver around those machine guns and bunkers, and bunkers REQUIRE you to go into melee to beat. The mod does what it set out to do, recreate WW1 in Napoleon Total War, however, the game limits them from making a 1:1 representation.

[@nikolozgilles]

it makes sense that earlygame, the ai should be really offensive and stupid, but later, they should start just holding their positions to emulate the evolution of military doctrine throughout the war

[@alexsamurai1230]

Totally get what youre saying about the AI trying to fight a 19th century war. I played this mod a couple of years ago and it struck me as really powerful how broken the combat was; just carnage and panic everywhere. It really brought home that in WW1 we learned that the sheer destructive capability of the industrial revolution meant that the rules of war just don't work any more

[@winters1942]

The reason for the trenches in WW1 are a combination of machine gun, artillery and barbed wire. Barbed wire slowed down troops that where crossing and the machine gun just mowed people down. Artillery left the ground in such a way that it was also very hard for troops to cross in any kind of formation.

[@adrianszczech395]

AI in Napoleon seems to be hardcoded to walk into vanilla game unit range in battles

[@samnic90]

Referring to 10:07: Thats exactly what happened time and again in WW1. When they tried to take positions quickly 1000s of men died because of old storming tactics. a very popular example is the Battle at the Somme... but i totally get your point in this. It's not very helpful if the AI behaves that way every battle in game!

You cover my thoughts on the mod perfectly. It is a little difficult to hear you over the music and sound effects. The battles, in particular, sounded like standing right next to a microwave making popcorn and a washing machine full of frying pans, to the point that I had to turn on the youtube auto-subtitles to try and hear what you said at some points. Would you ever consider playing the Sigh of Empire mod for Medieval II? The name sounds weird, but it's a mod based on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebellion in the Qing Empire. The mod is pretty fun and it also just had the Xinghai Revolution added as a submod.

[@theelectricwalrus]

The way to model trench warfare is to have half stacks continuously from Switzerland to the North Sea. Napoleon to WW1 represents a dramatic increase in troop numbers. WW1 battles would be emergent behavior in this mod if every side could recruit 10x more troops. Also, infantry in the mod doesn't shoot nearly as far as they should have historically. Infantry could kill at least out to 300 yards, and could engage light field artillery.

[@merlin4084]

In regards to your comments about the Napoleon AI not knowing what century they are in, I find that's an issue in vanilla as well. I've lost count of how many times the AI mills around in front of my line, not shooting and then charging in, or forgoing shooting entirely and charging my line. I really do not believe CA programmed the AI to prioritise shooting over charging because in most battles in vanilla the AI just charges into close combat. Recently I have found a mod that seriously makes the AI in both Empire and Napoleon a lot smarter for line battles, and a little smarter in the Campaign map. It's called the Bran MacBorn AI improvements mod and this mixed with Darthmod for Empire Total War (the modder made his mod compatible with it and comes in a good number of flavours too, with a fix for the Ottoman and protectorate bugs) makes the campaign so much harder. For example, in the Empire campaign, battles where I would have gained heroic victories against armies of 3000 men while losing only 400 of my own soldiers out of 2000 men, now I am struggling to keep 2/3 of my army alive. Custom battles are also a lot harder, but it's not as bad as Campaign battles as you can pick and choose what units you want to bring on both sides. I would recommend you give this combination of mods a go and see what you think. I find it has breathed new life into Empire for me.

[@thedeadcannotdie]

Interestingly, Frances first offensive (in Elsaß I think) was pretty much a bunch of brightly dressed soldiers walking into German machine guns and the Germans doing what probably any sane soldier would do in that situation --- mow them down. Also, are those rifles firing at the rate of MGs?

[@kill4monney213]

Once you unlock machineguns and bunkers you're pretty much already won the campaign imo. You can just march single stack "armies" of mg bunkers into the enemies and they will lose thousands. Even they do eventually figure out to charge the bunkers, the game makes them 1 time use anyways, there is pretty much never any real loss if you do this strat.

[@levimalone4433]

i think the unit turning is a 2 factor issue. the modders tried to make it possible for a unit to defend its self from any direction without having to totally reposition but with napoleons ai if your unit is targeting a unit a bit off center it will cause the entire unit to turn because the pathfinding becomes confused since it can fire from any direction.

[@marksargeant1019]

[@thunderbear91]

I can't remember if you have but I wonder if you could do a Top 5 best AI for total games?

[@johnmcmanus2447]

He did

[@oliverpohlproductions8291]

(Keep in mind I have not watched the full video 11:08) I agree with you, But my games AI are making trenches and waiting for me to charge. (But I just bomb the heck out of them with artillery) so I think the AI is pretty good.

Hmmm I coudln't get the mod to work unfortunately idk why, it wouldn't let me choose what folder it downloaded to but i put them in the same directory still didn't work so im not sure what to do his instructions are bias to.

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

[@eddyfoo1]

[@LORDNAG1]

They wanted to be fully immersive and achieve that In The Mod.

I have played this mod a lot and single player in this mod is boring but multiplayer is amazing and is some of the most fun I have had in Napoleon total war

[@hassogantze600]

Have you read Storm of Steel by Ernst Jünger? You would like it. Best WW1 book out there

[@Inquisitor_Redacted]

If there was any war in history that I am glad I never had to fight in it's world war 1. Nothing like waiting in a dirty disease filled trench for months on end watching your friends die around you.

[@snakeboy_1]

Why are the Swiss and Dutch playable since they where both neutral in WW1 and didn't have much impact in WW1.

[@slavkoostojic2514]

And i guess Serbia? We kinda lost 60% male population and 25% overall.Look up the macedonian front or salonika front, it was emportent in the end of the war. I am sure you can say that we were a member of the Allies.I was just trigerd nvm love ur vids.

[@obichamqica2490]

My country Bulgaria wasnt even included in the mod, which is dumb, considering we did a lot more in the European theater than the Ottomans.

[@LionKing-ew9rm]

Hey! How can we disable the User Interface in this mod! I'm trying to do cinematics, but whatever I do, the Battle speed bar won't disappear.
